Yeah but that would require writing a handler to convert the data from one save file to another so I'd be very surprised if they were to bother.

More importantly, it'd open up a whole host of problems with save files and save states. If Nintendo decide (bother) to implement save state features into the games, or if the save files are unencrypted and can be copied from one SD card to another then that's a ton of prospective issues with save file abuse to be had.

By current, you mean like using sprites, etc., right? I'm sure they could still use them but I would rather them just upgrade the games to 3DS standard than keep them how they are now.

Btw, I did not think of these names, just saw them as an idea by someone on another site. How do these sound?: Volcanic Ruby and Oceanic Sapphire. Don't recall those being said on this thread so far, but with all the pages, they may or may not have.
That just reminded me I seen someone suggest these names for the game in another forum I was looking through. They called it Rising Ruby & Soaring Sapphire. I guess they figured it would be like Heart Gold and Soul Silver a name that no one would predict or see coming. They sound pretty cool to me though.

I think we may see R/B/Y in the eShop sometime in the near future but not r/s/e I think they will remake them when the 3DS is a year old or something in 2012/13.

Speaking of possible names, I'm actually really scared to find out what they will name the remakes when that time reaches. I don't have the slightest idea of what they could possibly name them, and I really hope it isn't cheesy. I'm not sure what to think if the names are anything similar to HeartGold and SoulSilver, but I guess whenever that times comes I'll have to keep one eye open to know! :(

When will people learn that there will be no Main pokemon games on the eshop. They cannot put them on the eshop because there will be no way to trade which is a main thing for pokemon.

Despite all the negativity about the issue, I can bet that a lot of people would download the games for the sake of having them all in one place(and without the risk of batteries dying), if it were to happen.

Of course, since there is nothing saying there is even a chance for them to appear, people are going to play the "omg, I wouldn't download that" card, even though deep down they know they would, if there were a chance.

Apparently they are working on getting the NES games or whatever multiplayer at a later date, so we at least know that(multiplayer) is being worked on, so it's not like all hope is gone.

Back to the topic, I wonder what games they are really currently working on. Just like someone said earlier on this thread, all this speculation, etc. and nothing confirmed just keeps making me wonder the above.
Don't you think Hoenn deserves to be at least this beautiful?

What if they drastically changed things up. Instead of coming out with a ruby and sapphire remake they just come out with an emerald remake and pair it up with the third game?
If they do that both games can have similar control interfaces and the same features ( ex. HG/SS controls and features were way better than platinum's) And you know how if you link black to white you can take people from black city and transfer them to white forest and Vice versa ? well what if in the games you can do the same but with trainers thru out the map.And what if when you complete both games you can transfer your characters and six of there pokemon ? And certain trainers can be battle , but all gym leaders can be battle to get the badges so you can compete in that regions pokemon league .( it would be more or less a tournament , but you will be able to battle the elite four in nonofficial battles )

I was just in another forum and someone pointed out something really interesting. A hint of R|S|E remakes they found in game was the Basculin. One has a Red stripe and the other has a Blue stripe (the colors of a Ruby and a Sapphire), although the Basculin aren't quite version exclusives one is more common than the other depending on which game you have, and coincidentally the two Basculin don't get along similar to how Groudon & Kyogre don't get along. Now whoever pointed this out must have really been digging deep because I don't think any common person would have noticed that (I sure didn't). I'm not sure if that counts as a hint but it could.

If I recall, they changed one of the Gameboy Advanced games on the eShop so they could connect wirelessly and could be played single player, it would just however leave the giant hole of not being able to connect to the original cartridges. Though they did make that ugly extra circle pad so who knows, they could just add an attachment for a link cable slot. Though it doesn't seem at all likely.

Regarding the names they'll pull something completeley unexpected over us like they did with HG/SS I know nobody was expecting Heart Gold & Soul Silver, the common names were Dusk Gold & Dawn Silver so those who are expecting Aqua Sapphire & Magma Ruby... think again.

Would love for them to be named Aqua Sapphire and Magma Ruby though, they would fit the games well.

I'm excited to see what they come up with!

To be honest, I always found "Aqua Sapphire" and "Magma Ruby" to be sort of tacky titles for a remake. I'd much prefer something more creative that really signifies the elegance of a ruby and sapphire. I really don't know how to explain that any better though, haha.

Personally, after seeing them as an idea from someone on another site, I actually like VolcanicRuby and OceanicSapphire, although they might be a bit too long.

It will likely be something related to magma & water but on a completely different level.

I think they will remake it to serve the same purpose that hgss did for Gen 4. It will make every Pokemon available in Gen 5 games without needing to park pal or poketransfer anything. They will make it compadable with black and white regardless of what system it is released on and they should make all of the first four starter sets available as the johto remakes did. I would expect a bunch of new islands to be added and the safari zone and battle frontier to be expanded. I would expect a lot of move tutors and some place where someone will teach swampert/blaziken/sceptile hydrocannon/blastburn/frenzyplant. Allow the other starters to be able to learn the elemental hyper beams from the tutor. Add another rival or just make may and Brandon rivals and your charector customizable. I hear people talk about adding another region. Dare I suggest add the orange islands? People have wanted it for a while. Why not? That could open up catching the Kanto birds and ho-oh and lugia. Maybe add new island and have a post game mewtwo story line. Deoyx and jirachi available through normal gameplay. The three johto beast running wild in hoenn after You beat Steven. Access to terra/ marine cave to catch the other weather trio member depending on what Verizon you buy. Access to southern island with the pass but make latios or latias harder to get to. Naval rock accessable. Add in day and night. Add a mossy rock in petalburgh woods for eeve to evolve into leafeon and have it evolve into glaceon in shoal cave. Expand the hoenn Dex. Add in more fire types like houndour and growithe. The problem in hoenn if there is a problem is that there are two many water and grass types and not enough fire types. Add gallade and budew and roserade to the hoenn dex. Add nosepass' evolved form whose name I cannot think of at the moment. Add eeve and the eevelutions. Add other ghost types like misdreavous and mismagius and dusknoir so Phoebe of the elite four isn't repeating the same Pokemon the whole time. Add post game run ins with Cynthia and Red and maybe Blue and Adler. Add lance to kyogre/ groudon crisis like the anime did. Overall just make this the best game it can possibly be. A hoenn remake would have a lot of potential. I would expect confirmation in at least 2 to 4 months and will probably be in the US around 2013.

I think that could work. I like Royal Ruby and Sacred Sapphire. It shows the importance of each without being over the top with aqua/magma themes. And they sort of go along with heart gold and soul silver.

I am 100% positive that they will remake Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire versions! I think they will be called DuskRuby & DawnSapphire. They might also remake Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen Versions since they remade the Kanto region in Gen III & Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen Versions are not compatible with the new Gen V games. They will also make Pokemon Gray Version since it would make sense.

Game Freak should never ever visit Kanto again unless they're willing to completely re-create and greatly expand the game to something that reaches the same standards as the current games do, not a half-hearted coat of paint like FR/LG were.

Otherwise let sleeping dogs lie when the player can easily round out the Kanto section of their Pokédex by playing HGSS. Even in R/S you could already obtain nearly 50 Gen I Pokémon.

Well apparently(or so I've heard and seen around), The Pokemon Company is making an appearance at Jump Festa for thie first time(an annual Japanese manga/anime focused gaming event, I think), which is going to happen this Winter.
